Description
Fruit
Fruit up to 3 cm, similar to the Russian cultivars; not suitable for machine harvesting. The flavour has a slightly bitter to astringent undertone.
Growth
At 1.75 to 2.25 m it grows more vigorously than the other fruiting cultivars.
Notes
Selected as a pollinator for Borealis, Tundra and the Indigo series; it can pollinate 4 to 8 plants of those cultivars.
Care
Site: Intended as a pollinator rather than a cropping cultivar โ one plant pollinates 4 to 8 bushes of Borealis, Tundra or the Indigo series. At 1.75 to 2.25 m it grows more strongly than the fruiting cultivars, so allow space. Care: The fruit is edible but cannot be machine-harvested and tastes slightly bitter to astringent.
